Kirlian Camera - Blue Room

Original promotional music video for "Blue Room" by Kirlian Camera (1983). Kirlian Camera are the historical pioneers of the Italian electronic scene. Active since 1977, the band released its self-titled debut in 1981. Their early recordings are a mix of synth pop and new wave/dance. Toward the end of the 1980s, the group's sound began to grow progressively darker. At the time "Blue Room" came out, the group consisted of Simona Buja on vocals, and founding member Angelo Bergamini on just about everything else. The track was first released in 1985 by ZYX/Italian Records, on both 7" and 12" vinyl.

I restored this video from two VHS source copies. The quality improves dramatically at 0:32 and remains from there on out. The irritating title overlay appears from 0:36 to 1:16.

For those interested, here are the lyrics:

Sometimes in the blue room
another dream fades away
velvet as the moon
she lays down and resting stays
So she's seeing
the shadow of life falls
over the bright light
and so on
she's breathing the air
surrounding celestial stairs
And in the bright light
shine all the sparkles in flight
hold me tight
just cross the line
words capture silently
all this time
reminds me now
of islands rising silently
desert zones
and western domes
footsteps sound so lonely
Travelling into dreams
passing season gloved in grey
the feeble dying beam
its pain without ecstasy
so, now
the contact is lost
nothing but a sense of fear
and tonight
the ocean is quiet
it's waters forever dead
and so tell me
why reason and lives
are lost inside unveiled desires
And it's too late
too late to return
from that golden exotic place
Screaming at last
and looking around
all my life lost in
a bridge filled with night.

I Love Kirlian Camera...excellent video!

[AgedTeen]

This video is incredible! It reminds me of Liliana Cavani's films and Joe d'Amato or Lucio Fulci's low budget 80s horrors as well!

It takes me to some hidden place in my mind and I can't stop watching it.

The song, which I already knew, is fanstastic of course!

P.S.

Does anyone know if Simona Buja recorded other stuff after Kirlian Camera?

The best of Kirlian Camera is in the 80's when anybody was worry about goth/ebm/ pretentious tags.
